I haven't seen the match, but even Djokovic said in his post match interview that Federer's movement wasn't there from the get go. It was the semifinal of a major and Fed didn't want to retire from such a big match.

Dominic Thiem is hot AF and his booty is always popping even more than Nadal's.

I think Netflix is a great innovator and as I said I think they've adapted extremely well with times. They started mailing DVDs, then streaming, then original content, and today they've become a very powerful Studio. That is all great and I appreciate them for brining some of the very best content to the comfort of my own home. However, I am a Netflix subscriber and yet I don't have the option to see The Irishman in theatres and that is something that I don't like. Roma was a great movie that I enjoyed very much, but it was in a foreign language, in black and white, by a known but foreign director and without any stars. A tough box office sell at any time. The Irishman is a movie by an iconic American director who has enjoyed tremendous critical acclaim as well as box office success. In addition to that there's plenty of big time American stars who haven't worked together on screen in a long time. The genre is the one that has had enormous box office success in the past with both the director and the cast. The critical acclaim, that has been nothing but overwhelmingly positive, is yet another factor to predict that The Irishman would do great at the box office had it been given a chance. As I said I don't think anyone would have cancelled their subscription by having to wait for this movie for two months. According to current release dates, it would have been available on Netflix the first week of January, just as the award season was starting to get into full swing. The shareholders, would certainly appreciate the extra box office revenue the movie was almost certain to generate. It would have been a win-win for everyone. As a Netflix subscriber, I would have appreciated this choice even at the expense of the delayed streaming release date. However, Netflix decided that as their subscriber I was not worthy that choice. And as their subscriber I'm not sure I like them making that decision for me. While I feel strongly about this, I'm not at the point where I'm going to cancel my subscription. But if they continue to jeopardize the future of movie theaters I might just do that. You live in NYC where you get a lot more opportunities to see films be it at festivals or limited releases. While New York will always have it's benefits in this regard, folks in other parts of the country as well as outside of it should be given a chance to enjoy great cinematic masterpieces in cinemas, the way they are meant to be seen. Or maybe I'm just too old fashioned.

I feel that no one would have boycotted or cancelled their Netflix membership if The Irishman had shown in theatres for 60 days prior to being available for online streaming. I also feel that Netflix has always been super innovative in everything they do, yet here I feel that they got stuck in their own business model. It's one thing to have an intent to stream everything you make right away, yet it's another to stumble upon a major cinematic event, as this movie is being described, and refuse to give it a wide theatrical release, where all you could gain is extra box office revenue, and still keep the subscribers happy with plenty of other content. I just don't get it. I'm sure Netflix has their reasons, and big directors can chose to either go with it or not make films for them, but the repercussions of this move could spell death for the movie theaters as we know it, and I'm not sure I'm completely on board with that.

There's been a lot written about this movie lately. Apparently it's a front runner for best picture at this point, as well as in directing and acting categories. However, a lot of the debate about it is about Netflix' unwillingness to give it a proper wide theatrical release. Here's a couple of articles, pro and against Netflix's decision. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/irishman-why-netflix-shouldnt-give-theaters-demands-guest-column-1254033 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/01/business/irishman-netflix-theaters.html Definitely interesting times for both Netflix and the National Association of Theater Owners. It could be the beginning of the end for either of their reigns.

Bumping this. Has anyone met him?

Have you ever experienced this? It happened to me once and it freaked me out at first but then found it hot. I've seen it in videos a few times and it's definitely hot. Is this completely involuntary or is there any skill in achieving this state? Is this mostly due to top's skills or stamina, or something else altogether? Does this happen often when you bottom, or to the guys you top? And this is not the same as chills during orgasm. Well maybe there's some kind of internal one but definitely no ejaculation.

So much cum! I think I'm pregnant by just looking at it.

A get your point @Mocha and I both agree and disagree with you. While the nature of the business and what happens during the appointment is very different I believe that initial contact is very similar to other industries. Not to be taken literarily of course. While to a waitress I'll talk about dressing on the side, and extra sauce, and the size of the steak, to an escort I'll talk about a size of a different meat and a different sauce altogether; however, in both I should be respectful and courteous. Sending unsolicited pics of my flooded hole to someone I've never met is arrogant and disrespectful, and that's putting it mildly. I get that because of the nature of this business, these boundaries become blurry to the point that some may even confuse it as acceptable practice but it's not. It is a business like any other, and it should be treated as such. That's at least how I look at it.

Thanks for the opinions. It's comforting to know that even @Benjamin_Nicholas is susceptible to this, albeit very rarely. I've had some issues a while back so I'm always extra cautious with my ass. It's some months ago that someone had a bit of a rougher time with me than I'd like and it caused a bit of an issue. However that healed, or so I've thought, and I've been able to have sex without major issues since then. A bit of soreness for a day or two but no blood. That's why this last time caught me off guard. Especially since it was quite pleasurable and pain free. I always thought I'd feel if something was wrong. I guess I need to get more in touch with my ass.

I know there are different types of law. But a divorce lawyer doesn't take on every divorce case that comes his/her way. There are a lot of different factors to choosing one's representation, and in that regard I compare it to any other service industry. There's a knowledge and qualification factor, there's a price factor, but there's also a human factor. Who you click with, do you trust them, do you like them. You might like an escort or a lawyer, or a doctor or a hairdresser or a waiter for completely different reasons, but you do like them on some level or you wouldn't do repeat business with them. At least hat's how I function. I don't know what's silly about that.

@hypothetically I'm not alarmed. If I was I would've seen my doctor already. It just frustrating. I find it weird that I wouldn't feel any discomfort, or that a provider would not tell me if he saw any blood on his dick. Let me rephrase the questions. If there's a small amount of blood, and a client is not complaining, do you tell him or just continue like nothing's wrong? Does this happen? Rarely? Or not at all?

I'm sorry to bring this up but I have to ask about blood or bleeding during or after sex. For the tops here do you ever encounter blood during intercourse and how often does this happen? I'm not talking about full on bleeding, but rather small amounts. For bottoms, do you ever find that after having had a great sessions, that was enjoyable and pain free, you wake up the next day to find out that you're much more sore than you have anticipated, and having some minor anal bleeding? This generally goes away in a day or two tops. Definitely not severe. This has happened a few times now, and it's annoying as hell. I would experienced no discomfort at all during sex, and no drugs were in play, not even poppers, and then suddenly the next morning there would be blood. Is it possible that I was bleeding during sex and that the top didn't notice? Or did he and just didn't tell me? Is it possible not to bleed during and then only after? Why wouldn't I feel any pain during the actual act? Again, I know this is disgusting and uncomfortable to talk about but I'm just hoping some of the providers on here could maybe shed some light on this. Clients can pitch in too. Due to the sensitive matter, if you don't want to discuss this publicly please feel free to send a private message. Any insight would help.

@hypothetically I find nothing wrong in what you said. It never even crossed my mind to be sending a visual resume of my abilities, and I do find it in poor taste. I will occasionally get flirty and send a "fuck yeah" as a reply and then I'll be texting an apology if I had crossed the line. As far as losing customers I do think you're in line and you have every right to chose your clientele. And unlike @Mocha I do think that parts of the industry are very similar to other service industries. Walk into any restaurant and try being verbally abusive to the staff and you will be asked to leave. Try it with a retail story and security will be escorting you outside. Even a lawyer chooses his clientele based on their case. Just because one is in a service industry doesn't mean their service is for everyone, and if the clients are out of line their business will not be welcomed to many of those establishments. Why would escorts be any different? Apps might have a lot to do with it, and it's not just with being rude but with people communicating with each other in general. Sup? Horny? Cum much? Wanna fuck? These are the new norms for us regular folks, so I can only imagine how much worse it gets for escorts.

Good luck with this approach @Mocha Please update us in a month or so to let us know how this turned out.

@Quincy_7 No one can make this decision but you. Every sexual encounter, including kissing and skin on skin contact, as @FrankR pointed out, can transfer HPV strains. Once you're exposed to a strain the vaccine won't help you. It's there. If you go through the series of all three shots, then you'll have the most protection possible. However as someone pointed out, that does not mean you'll be protected against all the strains. From what I've read there's hundreds of variations but not all are harmful. The shots focus on protecting you from the most harmful ones. These are the facts. There are three shots for a reason. You now know the facts and can make an educated decision as to what you think is the best choice for you.

From what I know there are three shots, but you have to take them a month or so apart. Maybe even longer. As @FrankR said, the first one will make you immune to some strains but the second one will boost that much further. The third from what I get is mostly a booster shot to insure a long time protection. I might be wrong about this one. However, the shots are not retro active, meaning they don't cure you of the strains you've already been exposed to. Pretty much we all carry HPVs and they spread easily through any kind of sexual contact. That's why it's suggested you get all the shots in your teens or prior to becoming sexually active. So while it's strongly recommended to get these shots, you need to be aware that they only protect you from the strains you haven't been exposed to yet.

There's been a few threads about this. Here's one: https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/posting-rentmen-reviews.139883/#post-1681033 There are so many issues with their reviews that I don't even know why anyone would bother reading them. If Rentmen really wanted to stick to the rule of initial communication needs to be done through their email system, they should stop publishing providers' phone numbers, and let them supply that info once contacted. However, they will never do that because it makes no sense, and they would get a major backlash from every escort listing on their site. Plus there's more rules to posting a review than you could imagine. It's a maze to make sure they can do whatever they want.

I think that both clients and provider's might have skeletons in their closets but Derek's are in public due to his celebrity status. It's not fair but often lack of privacy is a well known price of stardom. A while ago, there's was a clip of him going off on a tirade and pretty much disparaging anyone and everyone, but it was obvious that he was on something, so the hole thing was very sad. I really don't know and I am only speculating here, but I wouldn't be surprised if his assault charges were drug related too. I do hope that he's gotten help and has resolved whatever issues he might have had, but judging by this thread his business won't suffer one bit regardless. He does say in his ad: 3.) I show up on time and exceed expectations. It might be an indirect way of addressing all the no shows guys mentioned in other threads on him.
